Replacing Floor Boards has Left Gap

Hi, I had a water problem and have had to replace 14 click-in laminate boards in my hall. The problem is that due to manufacturing tolerances, replacing 14 boards have left a 1mm gap where it meets the rest of the floor. It might not sound like much, but it's enough that it won't click in place. Any...

Hiring breaker to remove old concrete

Hi, I need to remove an area of concrete from the 1930s to lay a path. Not sure why the concrete is there but don't think it's too deep. What's the difference between the demolition hammer and breaker on the HSS hire page? Google "hss.com/c/1014415/Breakers.html" Would one of those do the ...
